Fortunately, replacing the front headlight bulb is one of the simplest and quickest DIY mechanical tasks. Before starting, ensure the engine is off and the headlights are also turned off. Next, unlock the hood using the button on the dashboard and lift it to gain full access to the engine compartment.

Removing and replacing the passenger side bulb is very easy as it has direct and fairly easy access. Just disconnect the connector and gently pull out the bulb.

To install the new one, reconnect the connector and insert it into the correct position. On the driver side, however, there is the battery, and to replace the bulb, you must first remove it, taking care to disconnect the positive and negative terminals.

The rest of the steps are identical to what was described earlier.
